Just entering the office, Devin opened the mailbox to check today's schedule. He was going through the meeting calendar, and the door burst open in the nick of time. He snapped, quick to reprimand the executive assistant, knowing that it's her who comes to eat his head in the early morning but seeing Francis slid to a stop in front of the table, panting heavily, Devin went hazard in surprise. ''What happened_'' Devin halted, watching Francis scooted face. What's got into him today? He deeply thought as he observed Francis's moves.
Grabbing the bottle, Francis gulped the water in one go. He later threw it onto the garbage and slumped on the chair to calm his erratic heartbeat. ''Why didn't you pick my call from morning? I was scared something happened to you.''
